Problem with /etc/project in Solaris 10

Question

Bonjour,
I need your help to understand and have project work correctly under Solaris 10.
What seems to be prety straight forward on paper doesn't work at all for me and can't figure why so!
Obviously I'm trying to make it work for an Oracle user.
I create a project called "oracle" with id 100.
here is what you can found in my /etc/project :
oracle:100::oracle::process.max-file-descriptor=(priv,1024,deny);project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4294967296,deny)
here is what you can found in my /etc/user_attr :
oracle::::project=oracle
now, once I reboot and login as oracle I do a id -p, here is the output :
uid=3000(oracle) gid=3002(oinstall) projid=0(system)
I do ulimit -a, here is the output :
time(seconds) unlimited
file(blocks) unlimited
data(kbytes) unlimited
stack(kbytes) 8192
coredump(blocks) 0
nofiles(descriptors) 256 <------------------- should be 1024 no?
vmemory(kbytes) unlimited
Shouldn't I be part of project oracle (100)???
Now, of what I understant is oracle is NOT part of the "oracle" project and thuss setting are not set up at loging.
What am I doing wrong or what am I missing?
Thanks for your time

I'd start by verifying the settings via valid OS methods, no cat/grep whenever possible
# logins -xl oracle
oracle          3000    oinstall        3002   
                        /export/home/oracle
                        /bin/sh
                        PS 051110 -1 -1 -1
# grep project /etc/nsswitch.conf
project:    files
# grep oracle /etc/user_attr
oracle::::project=oracle
# projects oracle
default oracle
# projects -l oracle
oracle
        projid : 100
        comment: ""
        users  : oracle
        groups : (none)
        attribs: process.max-file-descriptor=(priv,1024,deny)
                 project.max-shm-memory=(priv,4294967296,deny)
# ssh -l oracle 0
